She sounds quite enthusiastic about both her accompaniment and the strong repertoire".[1] Phyl Garland, reviewing the album for Ebony magazine, wrote that "this is one of the finest heaping portions of McRae in ages...it captures her banter between song all the wit of a mature woman rapping about how to make it in any situation." Garland described "If the Moon Turns Green" and "I Thought About You" as "masterpieces of delicacy and phrasing".[3] Billboard magazine described the album as a "sensational performance...the lady is beautiful, lending her own interpretations and great style to the lucky composers and stylists".[4] Diana Krall said in an interview that she wishes she had been present at this performance as "Those were the days when they were singing songs, and they weren't into worrying about whether you scat sang or not. You knew you were a jazz singer by the way you approached things".[5]Track listing
